Fractal Software

  1. W.J. Gilbert: Julia Program written in Objective C for the NeXT computer only and distributed on CD ROMs called monoLib (monolithic Library) produced by monoChrome Systems, Edison, N.J. (1992) [The program with source was on the PEAK and PEANUTS NeXT Archives, but these are gone now.]
  2. W.J. Gilbert: Rational Mandelbrot Set Program (RatMandel) written in Objective C for the NeXT computer only and distributed on the Big Green CD ROM 4.0, Skylee Press, San Francisco (1994) [The program with source was on the PEAK and PEANUTS NeXT Archives, but these are gone now.]
